| Abstract: | Patients with locally advanced transitional cell carcinoma (TCC)of the bladder are at high risk forsystemic relapse, with liver, bone and lung beingthe commonest sites of metastases.We report the case of a 52-year-old womanwith a solitary meningeal relapse, a rare siteof recurrence, after 8 months of complete remissionobtained with M-VEC for locally advanced TCC ofthe bladder. We speculate on the likely riskfactors related to this unusual site of recurrence. |
